A suicidal woman drinking and threatening to jump from a Rancho Palos Verdes cliff Wednesday became cold after four hours and surrendered to firefighters, deputies said.

Firefighters rappelled about 25 feet from the top to collect her from her perch and bring her to the top.

Deputies and firefighters began talking with the woman about 4:20 p.m. after she made her way along a walking trail to get to the spot overlooking the ocean near the 6600 block of Palos Verdes Drive South. The spot was near the Terranea Resort.

The woman did not have a weapon, but was drinking alcohol from a bottle, deputies said.
